Industrial gases major Air Liquide is to invest €25m in revamping its air separation unit (ASU) in Yulin, China. The upgrade will see the existing steam-driven ASU converted to a more efficient electricity-driven system by the end of 2027, reducing the unit’s CO2 emissions by 224,000 tonnes annually and offering a 10% increase in oxygen production capacity. The contract extension with a subsidiary of the Yanchang Group illustrates Air Liquide’s decarbonisation approach, which has already electrified two facilities in Tianjin, in line with the Chinese 2030/2060 carbon peaking and carbon neutrality goals.
